Answer:

Because John F. Kennedy thought that the United States freedom depended on the ability of the underdeveloped world to build independent nations as an strategy to avoid them to become Cold War battlefields.

Explanation:

President John F. Kennedy issued an order to establish the Peace Corps in 1961 as a trial which was one of the most innovative programs of the Cold War. People of the underdeveloped countries were struggling for economic and social progress  and he thought that our own future freedom depended on their ability to build growing and independent nations where men could live with dignity liberated from the bonds of hunger, ignorance and poverty. Kennedy warned that the underdeveloped world were in danger of becoming Cold War battlefields. During the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of young American volunteers worked side by side with people from Latin America and Africa to help build sewer and water systems; construct and teach in schools; assist in developing new crops and agricultural methods to increase productivity; and participated in numerous other projects. Overall, the program was judged a success.

How would an embargo hurt the Japanese Empire?
Inessa [10]
The United States embargoed scrap-metal shipments to Japan and closed the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping. This hit Japan's economy particularly hard because 74.1% of Japan's scrap iron came from the United States in 1938 :)

How did Japan respond to foreign pressure to end its isolationist policies?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

They realistically had to respond in a positive way to the American demand of trade or be invaded, as they knew that they would easily be defeated. It made sense but at the same time most western nations would regret making contact again with Japan based off their imperialistic behavior later in history
